Longitudinal surveillance of Anopheles mosquitoes across different settings in Tanga and Unguja: increased distribution of An. merus in coastal and inland areas of Tanzania [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Effective malaria vector control in endemic areas requires understanding the distribution and composition of Anopheles species, as shifts in malaria vector species and composition can influence the efficacy of control interventions and ...

411 Molecular dynamics driving phenotypic divergence among KRAS mutants in pancreatic tumorigenesis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Translational Science
Objectives/Goals: To investigate how distinct KRAS mutations (G12D, G12V, and G12R) drive distinct molecular and phenotypic programs in pancreatic tumorigenesis, linking early lineage and signaling differences to clinical patterns such as stage at ...

The Effect of Merus Ring on Emitters Efficiency in a Trickle Irrigation System Using Agricultural Wastewater

Journal of Water and Soil Science, 2018
Emitter clogging for using agricultural wastewater increases the operating costs and reduces the motivation of farmers. The new method to reduce the emitters clogging is the use of a Merus ring that does not have the problems of chlorination and pickling

A human CD137×PD-L1 bispecific antibody promotes anti-tumor immunity via context-dependent T cell costimulation and checkpoint blockade

Nature Communications, 2021
The anti-tumour effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors is potentiated by CD137 agonists in preclinical models, but translation of these results to the clinical practice is hampered by toxicity.

Marked Effects of Larval Salt Exposure on the Life History and Gut Microbiota of the Malaria Vector Anopheles merus (Diptera: Culicidae)

Insects, 2022
Anopheles merus can breed in a range of saltwater concentrations. The consequences of this ability on the life history of adult An. merus are poorly understood. This study examined the effects of exposure to 0, 2.1875, 4.375, 8.75, and 17.5 g/L of sodium
